Copycat: Why China’s J-31 Stealth Fighter is No True F-35

Copycat: Why China’s J-31 Stealth Fighter is No True F-35.
It is widely believed that the J-31 is modeled in part off of stolen F-35 technology.
Several years ago, the president of a leading Chinese defense company boasted that China’s J-31 stealth fighter jet could definitely take down the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Appearing on China’s state broadcaster on in 2014, Lin Zuoming, president of Aviation Industry Corp of China (Avic), the state-owned Chinese defense company that manufactures the J-31, boldly declared that “When it (the J-31) takes to the sky, it could definitely take down the F-35. It's a certainty.”

The other guy is precinct as the Airforce is replacing F-35 with F-15EX. By the time J-35 is fielded in large numbers the USN will probably reverted to an all F-18 fleet
